What Does My Ultrasound Report Of Pregnancy Mean?

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and my ultrasound last week showed that one of the baby's heart ventricles in on the higher end of normal. Dr. said that everything i in the normal range but are sending m for another ultrasound at some point. Please tell me what this means?

Welcome to health care magic.

During anomaly scan every aspect of the foetal body parts are assessed.
As a part of the scan the cardia is seen in four chamber view, left ventricular out flow tract (LVOT) and Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and ventricle volume.
Probably it was higher limit normal or seen prominent - and the scanning doctor might like to send for complete evaluation from a foetal cardiac specialist.
Foetal echo is recommended in this conditions.
At the same time one will look for other anomalies - as cardia acts as a soft marker.

Hope i have answered your query.
Any thing to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
